For years past in Timmins and disâ€" tflctcrownhave:hownwhumybe done in the way of producing fowers and vegetables The Horticultural Soâ€" clety here has been d great help and encouragement in this line. Indeed, it may be said that despite the general appreciation won by the Horticultural Bociety after all the benefit and adâ€" vantage of such an organization can only be realized fully when close study is made of conditions and results. While flowers and vegetables have been given particular attention here, with really remarkable results, there has not been the same attention t" fruits. It is true that a few in this town and district have put just as much care and study in the cultivation of apples. In this the Hollinger has won.some success as was proven last year At the Horticultural Society show. At theâ€"same exhibition there were reâ€" markably fine specimens of applés frorm the garden of Mrs. Skavlem at the Mcâ€" Intyre.© Mrs. Savard, Pine street, north, had a display of the latest in crab apâ€" ~ples. It may be noted further that for some years past the exhibits have been a feature of the Horticulturalâ€" show. Apart from the wild fruits, blueberries and raspberries, the fruit activities in this district seem to have stopped with apples. Now, a letter from Smith Balâ€" lantyne, of the Dominion Experimenâ€" tal Farm at Kapuskasing suggests that plums may be grown with success in this North. The Domini}n Experimenâ€" tal Farm at Kapuskasing proved this fact by actually producing the fruit. That, by the way, is the excellent plan ¢f the Farm at Kapuskasingâ€"to show what may be done by actually doing it.

In a note from Smith Ballantyne, superintendent of the Dominion Exâ€" perimental Farm at Kapuskasing, the following reference is made to f@ums for Northern Ontario:â€" "In 1925 and again in 1927, the Doâ€" minion Experimental Station, Kapusâ€" kasing, Ont., planted a number of varâ€" ieties of phims which have proven quite hardy and in 1932 some of them proâ€" diwed a fair crop of frunit. It was The Northern News last week . has the follow:.ng paragraph about the proâ€" vincial police picking up a man in connection with the riots in May, 1932, at Rouyn, Quebec. The Northern News says:â€""Grank Rubisitch, 28, was picked up by provincial police officers of the Kirkland Lake detachment here ‘last Saturday night and turned over to Rouyn police to face an "unlawful asâ€" sembly‘" charge arising out of the May Day riots in Rouyn last year. Rubisâ€" itch was located by the provincial offiâ€" cers in a shack between the end of Main street and the old Kirkland Comâ€" fort ming. He is said to have vanished from Rouyn after the disturbance observed, however, that all the fruits were borne inside the trees and none above the snow line. It would seem that the plum trees, or at least the varieties under test, require a shelter disposed in such a way as to gather snow â€" which would: act as protection for the winter. A spruce hedge estabâ€" lished at regular distances would ansâ€" wer the purpose well. "The native plums (Prunus Nigra) has proved the hardiest and best yielâ€" der. The plums are red, of medium size and bhave good flavour. The varâ€" ieties, Mammoth and " Ojibwa are also fairly hardy and preduced some friits. They are both red in colour and of good quality.

They were assured that they neeéded no passports or contracts, that it was a free country. Being dissatisâ€" fied with American institutions they gladly embarked. Reaching Moscow they were herded off into a suburb and eventually shipped in two gangs to. the Urals. Later he happened to run. into both crowds. He had never in all his life seen such a disillusioned body. of men. It was hard, he said, to say which was the more disgusted, the Soâ€" viet authorities or the imported Ameriâ€" cans. The men absolutely refused to do a tap of work until they were fed on the‘ Ameri¢an plan. Food, they said, was terrible; tobacco was imitation stuff; the housing accommodation not fit for cattle. They swore that they would rather starve in Utah than work for roubles in Russia. But they were trapped; they had no passports, no contract. "Some time ago a Toronto feature writer spent two months in Russia, reâ€" porting voluminously on his findings. In examining one of these artxcles the engineer was amazed at what this obâ€" server did not see. For instance, the Toronto writer had remarked upon the enormous Ccrowds Oof pearsants who jammed the railway stations, the river docks, waiting days and weeks for transportation. Where were all thase people going, the Toronto writer wonâ€" dered? The answer, said the engincer, who had spent two years in close conâ€" tact with the natives was that there were literally millions of Russians movâ€" ing from place to place and their imâ€" pelling motive wasâ€"bread. Labour turnover at mines and smelters under his control ‘was 200 to 300 per cent. a year. A man would hear that there was flour or shoes or clothing to be had at a town or a district miles away; he would migrate with his family. The whole country was on the move, a vast fiux of bewildered, halfâ€"starved people of low intelligence, inured from childâ€" hood to hardships, uncomplaming, pitiâ€" ful to Western eyes. "Religion was being rap.dly eminatâ€" Canadian Engine Tells About Russn A year or ago a gentleman from the West spoke in Timmins on what he called "The Truth About Russia." After his address he visited The Adâ€" vance office and admitted jn the course of conversat.ion that "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth" had scarcely been told about Russia in that He justified his attitude by suggesting that there were enough to emphasize the evils of Russia withâ€" out those in favour of a Boviet system adding any words. This man seemed like an honest man and he was ev.â€" dently sincere in his attitude. At the some time he apparently realized that he had not been allowed to see the real Russia during his visit to that country. He admitted at least to himâ€" self that he and the other delegates sent from Canada by a communist orâ€" gan.zation to view the country ‘and bring back a report were in charge every minute of the Soviet, secret police and what they saw was only what they were expected to see. It may be interâ€" esting to note that this gentleman some months later was found dead in the barn on his property in the West. He was hanged, but whether by his own hand or other agency, who can say? remarked, still had fa‘ith; the children were atheists. It was impossible, he said, to judge by looking at a Russian‘s face to learn what he was thinking of. He was particularly struck, on one ocâ€" casion, by the inscrutability of the peaâ€" sant, whe may not have given up his God at the behest of the Boviet.

Russia on the Move, "Not long ago the writer had an opâ€" portunity of interviewing a Canadian engineer, recently réturned from spendâ€" ing nearly two years in Russia.‘> His report on mining affairs in the land of the Soviets will be found in the news columns. In addition to the informaâ€" tion obta‘ned on routine subjects a great deal of firstâ€"hand observation of conditions and customs in Russia was made available and some of it is treatâ€" ed in the following paragraphs: the procession was a float, on it two caricatures of Russian priests, one with To return to the idea of "the truth about Russia," that is what most people! in Canada would like to knowâ€"the truth. â€" They hear the most glowing and enthusiastic stories on occasion, but usually these are patently propaâ€" ganda and so must be discourted. Then they hear gloomy and depressing tales and these they are immediately told should also be classed as propaghanâ€" da. Again supposedly independent newspapers pretend to investigate and present the truth, but the public is doubtful because of the evident streak of deliberate propaganda that seems apparent in the reports, What to beâ€" lieve? Canadian newspapers have been seeking for fair and authentic informâ€" ation that will conform with the known facts. In "Grab Samples," that clever column in "The Northern Miner, there was what bears on its face the stamp of honesty and fairness in reégard to Russian conditions.

"‘"Vis:tors were handled by the speciâ€" ally trained organization known as "Inâ€" tourist" and the guides took the stranâ€" ‘gers only to the show places.

His dollars, francs or pounds were welcomed, but he was not allowed to delve below the surface. some few writers had done the situaâ€" "Moscow, where the engineer lived in a large hotel, was the Meccea for Comâ€" munists the world over. Delegations were constantly arriving in the city to make contact with the fountainhead of the cult. Sometimes these foreigners were quartered in his hotel. It was easy to‘figure out when they were expected. The windows were washed, floors scrubâ€" ‘bed, new carpets laid, cigarette counters stocked in the lobby, even candles (the unprocurable delicacy) appeared. Most significant of all, the steam heat which ordinarily was not turned on until four in the afternoon, was on all day and the foreign engineers and their wives rejoiced.

The local correspondents had learned the lesson of discretion. _ "Education was a feature of the Soâ€" viet plan. There was still a shortage of teachers and sCchools and no private schools were permitted. It was planned to "liquidate illiteracy," in the. Soviet phrase, and considerable success was being attained in this direction. Yet the teaching was largely oneâ€"sided. The schools were also liquidating the Diety; they taught history from the angle of the dictation of the proleteriat. The French Revolution was, for instance, good propaganda. Economics were likeâ€" wise treated from a single viewpoint. There was no attempt to broadly eduâ€" cate the youth, who are growing up without religion, largely without ideals other than those with political applicaâ€" tions. "Moral conditions and customs, said the observer, were not obviously differâ€" ent from those obtaining elsewhere. One reason for this was the laxity of the marriage and divorce laws.

Preston sent The Advance a clipping from The Toronto Star in which a wellâ€"known oldâ€"time prospector of the North made some suggestion for helping the North. The Advance published the letter in Another Prospector Writes Calling Atâ€" tention to Handicaps to Mining Develepment in Ontario as He the hopes that some of the points touched upon might be considered by the powersâ€"thatâ€"be and so the idea of helping the North might be carried along. Last week, too late for publi« cation in that issue a local prospector handed The Advance the following letâ€" ter on the same subject from the same paper, w.th the suggestion that it also be published. Before giving the letter, however, it is well to note and remem« ber that Hon. Chas. McCrea, Minister of Mines, is giving the prospectors, the mining industry and the country galike very helpful service. H:s whole heart is in his work and The Advance believes that the ~only «considerations that weigh with him are those relating to the benefit and welfare of the country generally. The country can not prosâ€" per unless the prospectors and the mining industry are treated well. To use them well is consequently the aim and purpose of the present Minister of Mines. : There: may be changes sary in the rules and regulations and if so Hon.

To begin with, the secret of a good night‘s rest is not "early to bed with an empty stomach." It seems that if the proper foods are eaten, even a late supper sometimes assists restful ‘sleep.

Sugars and starches in candies, cakes and desserts give them the energy eclements needed to let sleep do its work in replenishing vitality. Women wisely add milk, protein, minâ€" eral and vitamins to balance the diet. Men, however, negleet sugar and so their bodies work overtime to get enough heat and energy merely to carâ€" ry on leaving no extra fuel for restful sleep. So important are energy giving foods to proper sleep that the period of actual sleep may be reduced by eating more chocolate, desserts and other sweet stufifs. Carbohydrates are sugar and starâ€" ches, and are very easy to digest. Many popular and flavorsome desserts and cakes are rich in carbohydrates. Men‘s favorite, coconut cream pie, â€"or thick chocolate devil‘s food +~provide great quantities of heat and energy. Plain chocolate pudding with cream,â€"chocoâ€" late rice or tapioca add both these properties to the value of the meal without infringing on the budget. Light cakes, made with cake flour and simply iced are sufficiently attractive for desserts these mild days, but in choosing the "sweet" finale to a meal, thought for the sleep that is to replenâ€" ish energy will suggest a popular toothâ€" some dessert or piece of cake. recent visit.
